Beaches
The
Isle of Wight currently has 13 award winning beaches, including three
blue flag winners, all of which are managed and maintained to the highest
standard. In order for the Isle of Wight to gain these awards the beaches
have to meet strict criteria as laid down by EnCams. For example the water
quality must meet the standards of the Bathing Water Directive. For up

Isle of Wight beaches and esplanades are inspected daily to ensure that they are clean and safe for visitors. When visiting any beaches please follow the guidelines to help the Isle of Wight Council to maintain this standard.
